Week 10B

Today in class we started talking about CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and how to use them to style our web page. There are three different ways of using CSS:

1. Inline, this is where you put the style you want within the tabs of your html page
2. Embedded, this is when you put all the styling within the head tag so it covers the whole page
3. External, this is the most commonly used. It is when you create a separate CSS document and write the coding for each part you want to style and connected it to your html page through a link in the html coding.

This is what the whole CSS document looks like as of now:
